Old VS. New Sharpmaker?

[JBP]

I have the original sharpmaker, not the 204. Is there a huge difference? Is it worth the money to go to the 204? I guess it has more angles??

204 has an added 30 degree angle. The base is more stable and you can flip the base over and use 2 stones to create a flat benchstone. Whether or not it is worth it is up to you.
